You can usually find 320's at Lowes too.

Wow, you never cease to amaze me Chris. Hahaha. Mercury, And I thought it was the closes planet to the sun. I thought penicillin cured syphilis?
Mercury didn't cure syphilis but doctors didn't let a little thing like that stop them from getting a big syringe, filling it with mercury, and ruining some poor shlub's day by filling his tallywhacker full of liquid metal

You can usually find the 16" bags on eBay pretty cheap.

I got the email this morning and looked on line. Unless they have some super deals for $5 in store, every item I saw was what the regular price has been marked at for weeks, if not months. In fact several of the cordless tools are higher than what they were listed for around christmas time. For example, they have a Ridgid X4 impact driver for $99. I could have sworn this was on sale around Christmas for $79.
The tool "deals" are a bit dodgy, but the ladders ate a decent deal. I haven't had a chance to check out the bins yet, so there may be deals to be had there.
What I don't understand is why we need a Black Friday in April.

Considering you can buy the compressor and tool for that price, and a compressor is more versatile, I would say air. If you need cordless because of power constraints, although expensive, Milwaukee may not be too bad.
It's also their first kick at the cat.
I would personally wait for a 2nd gen, just to have a better overall tool with kinks worked out and a tweaked design. Look at Dewalt, great example of solid evolution.

It would not be too far of a stretch to say that the Ryobi Air Strike nailers were the first gen and that the Ridgid Hyper Drive was the second gen. That makes the Milwaukee Fuel nailers third generation. From the looks of them, and the claims in the marketing materials, they certainly seem to be improvements over both.

I have to ask, what are aircraft drill bits and why are they size A -Z instead if imperial or metric ?

Rumor is they are planning on releasing a m18 bucket next year, it will have 600 ft/lbs of torque!
I'm all over that.

I wonder if they'll sell just the bucket? I really want a snake too, but I'm pretty sure I can't justify $250 for the once every five years that I need to snake a drain pipe.

I believe that it's a 16" bag.

If only....

That's a great looking piece you've built.

Hey, thats what she said [emoji6]
There's a joke here somewhere about being hung like a can of tuna, but I'm too tired to make it happen right now.

Now I'm going to have to take a blade into the depot to try it out for myself on the floor model.

Just pulled the trigger on a Festool Domino 500. Should receive it in a week or so. More about this little bad boy soon !!
Nice. I'd love to dive into the green end of the pond, but there are a lot of other things that I need to get before I do. There's no use having a domino if your panels aren't consistently square and off by 1/64"

I've picked up a few toys over the years.
Here's the yellow one that's probably the most fun to drive.

I was surprised it wasn't 18v as well. That's funny you mention the gloves. We had a block in our sewer last summer and the guys came over and snaked the drain, pulled out the snake and wrapped it up and put it in the truck and never once washed their hands or wore gloves. Really shocked me. I offered to let them use our bathroom to wash up and they said they were fine!

I'll see your drain snaking plumbers, and raise you a septic field cleaning out plumber. He had to dig out the various valves and nozzles from my septic system that were covered with leaves / dirt. He used his hands to do it WHILE the pump was on and active. He actually seemed shocked when he asked me to do it and I passed. His words were something along the lines of "what's the problem? it's your crap." to which my response was "are you paying me to do this job or am I paying you?"
Don't get me wrong, I have the greatest respect for the trades, but septic guys are a little too comfortable being waist deep in crap for my comfort.

They need to bring on the Fuel versions of a roofer and a framer so I can completely empty by bank account.

$499 Canadian is an even more ridiculously good deal.

Love the saw, can't handle the music. I guess I'm just old.

I've bought a number of reconditioned tools from CPO and I can't say that I haven't had any problems. On my first M18 Hammer Drill (2604), the trigger reverse switch was stuck so you couldn't actually push the trigger. How that got past Milwaukee Recon QC, I'll never know. The other problem was with my first Milwaukee Miter Saw. There was something wrong with the bevel mechanism and there were no detents, so you could never get it back to vertical again. Both of these problems were problems with Milwaukee's Recon QC, since they do all of the checking and CPO just re-sells.
Now, that having been said, CPO is a first class company to deal with. In both of these cases, they paid for shipping to return the items and send me replacements in very short order. I might buy recon again, or I might not - depending on how smoking the deal was. But I'll definitely buy from CPO again.

I was going to hit up the depot, but then I thought about it and realized that I didn't actually need any recip blades. I'm trying to be slightly responsible with tool buying.

I was trying to do too many things at once today in the kitchen, make lunch for my son, make lunch for myself, clean up the mess I made making dinner last night before my wife gets back in town, you know the drill.
Anyway, in my distracted state, I accidentally knocked a bread bag onto a glowing hot electric burner. You can imagine what happened next, but if you can't, here's a picture.
How the heck do I get this crap off of the burner glass? I don't really want to take a razor blade to it as that would likely damage the coating. I suppose I could just turn the burner back on, but that would fill the house with noxious fumes and would probably not actually result in it being completely clean for some time. The melted plastic is pretty hard and not squishy at all. It is also adhered pretty well to the glass. I tried pulling it off with no success. I thought about going out to buy a heat gun, but I have no idea if that would work. As much as I'd love an excuse to go out to buy a new tool, it actually needs to work.
So, anyone ever pulled a boneheaded maneuver like this and figured out how to get out of it? I'm open to suggestions.

Just got home from HD and saw that they had some stands covered in plastic I wanted to peek but the staff was right next to it fixing some signs :}
What sorts of stands? Like the product displays during BF/EoY events?

I never thought not to spin the drill fast when I was pulling out. Good tip.
